I'm very happy with the design, thanks!
That exactly what I had in mind:-)

It would also work with IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL, correct?

However I think there're a few things to improve/simplify.

In fs/io_uring.c mmgrab() and get_current_cred() are used together in
two places, why is put_cred() called in __io_req_aux_free while
mmdrop() is called from io_put_work(). I think both should be called
in io_put_work(), that makes the code much easier to understand.

My guess is that you choose __io_req_aux_free() for put_cred() because
of the following patches, but I'll explain on the other commit
why it's not needed.

A minor one would be starting with 1 instead of 0 and using
idr_alloc_cyclic() in order to avoid immediate reuse of ids.
That way we could include the id in the tracing message and
0 would mean the current creds were used.

Here we need something like:
put_creds((const struct cred *)p);

The io_uring_register() calles would look like this, correct?

 id = io_uring_register(ring_fd, IORING_REGISTER_PERSONALITY, NULL, 0);
 io_uring_register(ring_fd, IORING_UNREGISTER_PERSONALITY, NULL, id);

Here we could use a helper variable
const struct cred *personality_creds;
and leave req->work.creds as NULL.
It means we can avoid the explicit get_cred() call
and can skip the following hunk too:

The override_creds(personality_creds) has changed current->cred
and get_current_cred() will just pick it up as in the default case.

This would make the patch much simpler and allows put_cred() to be
in io_put_work() instead of __io_req_aux_free() as explained above.
